There's a basket of goodies (not exactly the edible kind), a sweet grandma, a winsome young lass in a beautiful red hood, and a Big Bad Wolf. But there the similarity ends. This Red Riding Hood is shot through the lens of the Twilight films--for wide appeal to the tween and teen audiences, and definitely not a bedtime story for the little ones. Helmed by Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, Red Riding Hood bears a lot of the moody trademarks of the vampire series. Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), the plucky girl in the stunning cape, lives in a tiny medieval village whose geography is not specified--it's just very mountainous and remote. Valerie's heart belongs to her childhood friend Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but as Red Riding Hood opens, she learns she has been betrothed to Henry (Max Irons). As if that love triangle weren't enough, it seems a dangerous wolf--or is it werewolf?--has been terrorizing the town for years, and its killing sprees have intensified. When the townsfolk kill a wolf, they think they have finally freed their town from tyranny, and throw a giant bacchanal--like Burning Man in the snow. But then Father Solomon (Gary Oldman, in wickedly good form) appears on the scene to tell the villagers they've killed only a gray wolf--not, in fact, the werewolf he knows is the true villain. So the romantic pulls of Valerie, Peter, and Henry play out with a backdrop of true chills and mystery. The atmosphere created by Hardwicke, along with production designer Thomas E. Sanders and cinematographer Mandy Walker, is perfect for a goose-bumpy horror story with teen hearts caught in the balance. The set design of the village, especially, is rich with detail--even the trees in the surrounding forest seem to have branches made of threatening spikes. Seyfried is willful, passionate, and perfect as Valerie, and easily anchors a film that could have spun out. Other standouts include Virginia Madsen, Valerie's mother who has a dark secret in her own past, and Julie Christie as Valerie's rather peculiar grandmother. All Twilight fans, and those who love a good tale of star-crossed (or perhaps full-moon-crossed) lovers will enjoy Red Riding Hood . Just don't go walking in those big bad woods alone. -- A.T. Hurley In a medieval village a beautiful young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure. When her sister is killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village, the people call on a famed werewolf hunter to help them kill the wolf. As the death toll rises with each moon, the girl begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. Panic grips the town as she discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast--one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait. Review: Much Better than Anticipated - I initially saw this movie for one reason only: Amanda Seyfried, and she is GREAT in it. As is Gary Oldham. I came away delighted and bought the DVD. It exists on many levels: You have this enchanted village, with the lighting on Seyfried making her appear more an other-worldly delight from-a-fable than a normal young girl. Her sister found murdered by the wolf they all thought they had an understanding with, the Dagelhornians decide to kill the beast, raising all kinds of issues in the process. A special werewolf hunter (Gary Oldman), arrives to take control over everybody's life in order to kill the beast. Hero/deliverer quickly becomes tyrant-in-Dagelhorn amidst the love interest of the monied suitor vs. the true love of the woodsman for Amanda's hand. The fact that the "wealthy" suitor is a kind of blacksmith lends a touching morality tale: The bracelet he gives her is a simple tin-looking trinket, yet it is admired as something the poorer woodsman admits, "I could never give you anything like that." I thought it was an interesting take on 'marrying-for-money' theme when in Dagelhorn money doesn't get u very much aside from some ego-juice. Also, contrary to template, the monied suitor is actually an OK guy himself. The suspense starts when we - along with the Dagelhornians - and can they party! - have to understand the werewolf returns to his human form after he emerges in GREAT SPECIAL FX - so he cud be anyone. This is a fascinating turn, because we are subjected to constant hints and clues, along with outrageous camera "plots" in which the camera shows us Point-of-Views indicating the actions of certain characters; not all having ultimate relevance. So the viewer gets to play detective, keeping some clues, throwing out others. Keeping in mind this is a FABLE that is playing out themes of Loyalty, Love, Commitment, Fear, and also LOGIC. So you have to balance Logic with the obvious "suspension of disbelief" that plays mightily in werewolf-fables. How Amanda-as-Witch winds up solving the whole werewolf issue is pretty creative, and at the end I'm left wondering if a sequel wouldn't be fun with Seyfriend getting a little Wolfie herself. :) Review: Loved the movie, hate Blu-ray - I really like this movie. The first time I saw it, a lot of the music caught my ear. I got the soundtrack and have listened to it countless times. (I absolutely love "Keep The Streets Empty For Me" by Fever Ray. That song is amazing.) I love the atmosphere of the movie. The small village has a very cozy, intimate feeling about it. I want to live there! :) This movie won't appeal to everyone by any means. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously. It doesn't pretend to be some pretentious, hoity toity film for movie snobs. It is what it is, and that's what I like about it. So, regarding the movie. Personally I give it 5 stars because I like the atmosphere and I love the soundtrack. Regarding the disc, I hate it. I give it 0 stars simply for the fact that every time you put the disc in and hit play, you are forced to watch the same movie trailer. (Yes - you can skip it, but even so, a disc I purchase should not force me to watch movie trailers. Think about it. I still have DVD's from 10+ years ago. I assume I will still have this blu-ray 5 to 10 years from now. I don't want to watch the same stupid movie trailer for the next 10 years!) Even worse, blu-ray technology pretty much sucks. It's an utter failure in my opinion. (Streaming is the future.) The biggest gripe I have with this disc (and others like it) is that you can't resume! If you need to turn the movie off and go do something (or go to bed), when you hit play the following day, the disc starts over at the beginning. (And yes - it plays the movie trailer all over again.) I find this kind of thing completely infuriating. With all this advanced technology we have, you'd think that something as basic as remembering where I stopped the movie wouldn't be an issue. I'd be willing to bet the DVD doesn't have this kind of idiotic problem. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Amanda Seyfried, Catherine Hardwicke, Gary Oldman | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,314 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Genre | Horror, Science Fiction & Fantasy | | Initial release date | 2011-06-14 | | Language | English | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Horror, Science Fiction & Fantasy - **Format:** AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Amanda Seyfried, Catherine Hardwicke, Gary Oldman - **Initial release date:** 2011-06-14 - **Language:** English ## Images ![Red Riding Hood - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91B2LEQMMOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much Better than Anticipated *by A***R on November 20, 2011* I initially saw this movie for one reason only: Amanda Seyfried, and she is GREAT in it.
